more-inA short while before China’s FIBA Women’s Asia Cup quarterfinal match began here on Thursday, a 7’6” man quietly slipped into the arena. He took a seat in the VIP area beside the court, and watched the action unfold with minimum fuss. The man in question was Yao Ming, eight-time NBA all-star and Houston Rockets legend. Earlier this year, Ming was appointed president of the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA). Ming is expected to stay in the city until the end of the tournament.
